Obviously there are a lot of factors that play a part, but the biggest indicator for you should be whether you find the same gender sexually attractive. This is likely to be a combination of physical and romantic attraction: if it's just one or the other, it's likely to be more confusing.
All you can do is remain honest with yourself and try not to give yourself grief about what you do and don't like.

At some point I realized I technically didn't feel the term "straight" OR the term "gay" worked for me, but because I had only ever had straight relationships I didn't have any reason to say anything to anybody about it, but in my heart I knew it was a possibility that some day in the distant future I might could have feelings for someone of the same sex. Then, one day, years later... I saw someone who I immediately felt attraction towards. They were gender queer so it wasn't as intimidating as it could've been. Their personality had qualities of both sexes, the best of both worlds as far as I was concerned. It didn't feel like I had to choose or change my mind or change anything about myself. The attraction for me wasn't about sex or gender or orientation.

When I first noticed that maybe I liked girls, I was really unsure. But sometimes I would just see someone, a random stranger or friend, and just get nervous and want to try out flirting. I honestly wasn't really crazy about my first girlfriend, but my second.... wow. Now, It's about Jackie and her personality and her looks, and I don't care what gender she is... I am just so completely in love. She could tell me she wants to become a man and I would love her just as much. So keep your mind open and just go with the flow, because true love is about souls and personalities and minds, not about the physical appearance.

I knew I was gay because when I tried to have straight relationships it always felt awkward and I wasn't excited like I thought I should be. I had always imagined being with someone of the same sex though even before I tried those straight encounters. I would imagine if I had have been bi sexual that I would think about both sexes. I usually always accepted my thoughts and feelings around the issue though, and went with them. I'm glad I didn't try to be something I wasn't.
